O'Clock this afternoon with Jay Gould
and the members of his family, includ-
ing Mrs. Gould, Miss Helena and Miss
Anna Gould. Howard and Frank Could
and Mrs. Moves, Mrs. Gould's sister.
Despite the rumOrS of arrest which have
been freely circulated, no obstacle was
placed in Mr.. Gould'S way, and when
the steamship left the pier he was stand
ing near the forward foot railing sur
rounded by his family and waving
adieus to his friends on the pier. During
the day Mr. Gould was busy arranging
his affairs. At the Western Union office
he was besieged by reporters anxious to
learn something of his intentions and
also to obtain a definite statement with
regard TO whether he would sail to-day
OF not. To all he gave evasiye replies.
Shortly after noon he left his Office
in company with his SOn Ge0rg,
They went directly to the Fifth Avenue
hotel where lunch was served. Here
George parted with his father, and

age. A few moments later three car
riageS rolled up TO the private entrance
to the hotel and i'll these the members
of the party were driven directly to the
wharf of the Cnnard company. where

At the saloon companionsway the party
was met by Capt. ShackfOrd, of the At
Atlanta, Mr.. GOuld,s yacht, who, at the
request of Mr.. Gould, accompanied the
party. On reaching the staterooms
wraps were thrown aside, and the finan-
cier and capitalist was soon ready to re-
ceive his friends, who came by the score
TO wish him God speed. Among the first
to arrive were George Gould and his
wife, Manager +. X. Hahn and Supt.
Galloway, of the Manhattan Elevated

each one very cordially. After the

he could do for them. 'What do YOU

a SENSATIONAL STORY.
An evening paper prints a story il
which 1t connects the departure of ia,
Gould for Europe with the aDproachin!
execution OF the Chicago anarchists
The story says that the anarchist lead
ers fixed upon Could as the man who
by q bold and liberal use of the enOr
nous money power, could stay the hant
Of justice and prevent what they lool
upon as the slaughter of the martyrs
Absurd a. this notion is, they have no
hesitated to act upon il boldly. AT frs
Gould was approached in a neutra
rather than in threatening manner
The reliance of the anarchist brother
hood upon his great power and upon hi
exercise of it in their behalf was Sc
forth in mysterious communication
which he received sometimes by maj
and sometimes by the hand
of furtive messengers in til
street. As time passed on an
the case Of the condemned seven be
came more desperate, the anonymOu
messages became sharper in tone an
of a distinctly threatening character
After this change of attitude the mail
alone were used for their transmission
none of the really minatory letters bt
ing delivered to Mr. Gould in person
I.atterIy the warnings have been of s
decided character and so explicit j
their terms that Mr.. Gould, who is nc
naturally il man of timid disposition, bt
came thoroughly frightened and bega
somewhat hasty preparations for Ions
contemplated pleasure trip to Europe
His departure to-day is believed to b
chiefly due TO ali entire and nature
Willingness to pass the day of the anal
